Biden's address at Morehouse College, a historically Black men's college in Atlanta, Ga., is part of an election-year platform to repair bonds with young Black men and address the anger over his position on Israel.
“It’s a humanitarian crisis in Gaza, that’s why I’ve called for an immediate ceasefire," Biden said to applause. "I know it angers and frustrates many of you, including in my family."
Some graduates wore keffiyehs—the black-and-white head scarf that has become an emblem of solidarity with the Palestinian cause—tied around their gowns, while the valedictorian called for a permanent and immediate ceasefire.
